Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has said his players must be prepared to give their lives in order to reach the Champions League final.
The Gunners travel to Paris Saint-Germain for the second leg of their semi-final on Wednesday, seeking to overturn a 1-0 deficit and secure only the second Champions League final appearance in the club’s history.
In an interview with ESPN, Arteta shared his anticipation ahead of the clash at the Parc des Princes.
“Excitement, goosebumps, wanting the day to arrive, [the feeling] of being very prepared, very convinced and knowing that the opportunity is to play in a Champions [League] final,” he said.
“And when you get to that point, you have to give your life for it.”
Arsenal will be boosted by the return of midfielder Thomas Partey, who missed the first leg due to suspension.
